WATCH: Aram MP3 gets serious with his electro ballad Not Alone

Aram Mp3, Armenia’s Eurovision 2014 singer, has released the official video for his entry “Not Alone”. This electro ballad, which features glorious instrumentals, represents a major departure for this comedian-turned-pop-star, who is best known for his dance tracks. Aram’s solid vocals mix with a seriousness of purpose, and we think he’s on to a winner.

His ballad is a hymn devoted to perseverance. It encourages victims of domestic abuse and torrid relationships to remember that they’re not alone, and that they can remove themselves from all the turmoil.

The song begins solemnly, but builds continuously. Moving into the second minute, it crescendos into an extended period of rage as horns blare over the synthesized backing. It’s measured and perfectly timed.

Thematically he suggests that passion can lead to one’s unraveling. It can blind us from the horrors and faults of those we think we love. Seeing the truth can hurt, but it’s essential to have that reckoning: “You’re gonna wake up/ It’s only a dream/ And why do dreams make people scream?””

You can read the Not Alone lyrics below. What do you think of the song?

“Not Alone” lyrics

You’re all alone, you’re all alone,
No shoulder wants you to lean on,
You thought this world was too cold
And you’ve made up
A whole new world

Don’t cry, don’t cry little bird
Though you are scared and you’re hurt
You’re gonna wake up
It’s only a dream
And why do dreams make people scream

You’re not alone…

What if it’s all in one kiss
That turns all seeds into trees
The strongest wind into breeze
Enter all doors without keys

What if it’s all in one kiss
That turns all seeds into trees
The strongest wind into breeze
What if it’s all in one kiss

“What if it’s all in one kiss?” that can make all in life suddenly look beautiful ? These lyrics are fantastic. His vocal performance was not perfect but good, and the song was lyrically fantastic and musically also amongst the better songs this year. That one line about all being in one kiss … that goes very deep. Indeed, one kiss can change a life. Let’s not forget: if people love each other and stay together as a couple for life, it all started some day with that first kiss … Fantastic lyric.

You all should stop so much hate. Armenia is probably gonna win (I hope they don’t anyway :D). The song is just awesome. (Lyrics are crap tho). Keep your politics to yourselves, this is a song contest. Of course Eurovision is not all about music, it might be a little political too but this doesn’t just keep you from liking a song. Come on guys, you have to be honest! I’m from Azerbaijan and I’m completely OK with this song. Move your politics to somewhere else.

[…] 1.2 million hits on YouTube – currently more than other Eurovision entries – has been interpreted as touching upon domestic abuse issues, which is interesting given that domestic violence is a […]

I know this is supposed to be empowering, inspirational or whatever, but it’s just too over the top! And what concerns me the most, not having listened to all the songs, is that this the hot favourite! Man, are we in trouble!

Aram is well known for his live performances. I have been to one of his live concerts and he truly sang his heart out. In other words… He blew the roof off. You should’ve seen the looks on the audience’ s faces. I’m from USA and I think Aram is highly talented, very educated, kind hearted, fun, and charismatic individual. It is impossible to have any kind of negative opinion about Aram when you get to see him. He is a positive person, full of love for everyone. We love you Aram and we regret not being able to vote.… Read more »

Armenia’s entry is the song with the most passion this year. In my opinion, that counts for a lot. Also, if you pay attention to the voice, there is a lot going on. I believe Armenian has the best overall song in 2014.

Aram is awesome! We are nex to him. And we are going to give our all energy to him. His song is incredible and fantastic. Good luck Armenia. We support you 🙂

My message is addressed to people who just criticize Aram for no reason and dishonestly!!

And it especially refers to azeris!
Be human, you, animals!

Heey! Didn’t you understand that Aram is not alone?!!!
If someone says smtn bad or wrong about him, will regret a lot! If you knew what is respect for your and other candidates, you would have the word “tasib” in your vocabularies!

Armenia is my country, Aram is my HERO!!

He deserves victory!
He is a WINNER for us!

I was more surprised when i found out that he composed of the music ! Good Luck Guys from Holland !

Aram is a very veeeery talented artist, amd his song is just amazing!!! @Azer as many others as already said a music competition! there is no place for your personal opinions on what Armenia is or who Armenians are. ok? if you want to show how much you know or you think you know, then choose another forum for it. not here, and do not poison this place with your evil comments out of subject. it just shows that you are jealous. We are from sweden and we support this artist because we love the song and love his talent.… Read more »
